    Are you trying to print from a program ?
    A text file ?

    Have you tried :
    type [mytext].txt>PRN
    type [mytext].txt>LPT1
    copy [mytext].txt PRN
    copy [mytext].txt LPT1

    (not sure about those two last...)

    Is you printer Windows-Only ?
    a guess, but i think all HP Cxi are Win-Printers...

    Get back...

    are you trying to print from a dos window or a dos program while in wondows? then you may need to set printer properties to capture lpt1.

    The problem was the printer itself, Canon bj2100, took it off the system and put in another printer, worked ok.

    Thanks for the reply

    did you capture a printer port in the detail tab of the printers properties?
